A closeup of the rubble church tower. Probably the larger stones are glacial erratics. The church is possibly Saxon in date; some believe that the tower was a defensive structure. Other experts agree the flint work is more likely Norman. There is a long blocked Norman doorway on the northern side. See also http://bruisyard.com/parishchurch.aspx
